Doug,

<Suppose the A7M266 was due to be shipping in volume as of Nov 15th? Or Dec 1st? Then "will be" is precisely the right language to use.>

But that is precisely what will make it nearly impossible for any significant revenues to be realized from this product in Q4.

<As you say, Q4 is [almost] 1/3 over... not 90% over, nor actually over.>

My thinking is that if systems aren't available at release on Monday there will not be any meaningful Q4 sales.

<What's the P4 chipset's (850, right?) limit in terms of maximum Rambust memory that can be used? 1 Gb? 2 Gb? More? less?>

Don't know. Probably 2GB but definitely not smaller than 1G.

Chuck

Doug,

unrelated question: What's the P4 chipset's (850, right?) limit in terms of maximum Rambust memory that can be used? 1 Gb? 2 Gb? More? less?

There is a limit of 32 (36?) devices in Rambus channel. With the highest mainstream memory chip - 128 Mb, you get maximum of 512 MB per channel or 1 GB in 850, since it has 2 channels. When the memory chips go to 256 Mb, the limit should go up to 2 GB.

Joe
